Funding Opportunities
- 10/9/07: Economic and Social Research Council Leadership Fellowships
The sponsor is accepting applications from researchers from across the social sciences for a number of high profile research fellowships proposing innovative approaches or application of leading edge social science to addressing key research issues in mitigating and/or adapting to climate change. The program is based in the UK. Overseas researchers seeking to perform research at an eligible UK research institution are welcome to apply.
- 10/30/2007: NOAA Environmental Literacy Grants for Spherical Display Systems for Earth System
Science-Installations and Content Development
The NOAA Office of Education (OEd) is issuing a request for applications from institutions with interest in developing exhibits featuring spherical display systems showing Earth system science, or developing science modules for these display systems. Spherical display systems are sphere-shaped "screens" onto which global data and other imagery can be shown.
- 11/15/2007: NOAA Oceans and Human Health Initiative
The mission of the OHHI is to improve understanding and management of the ocean, coasts and Great Lakes to enhance benefits to human health and reduce public health risks. Toward that end, as the nation_s lead ocean agency, NOAA_s OHHI investigates the relationship between environmental stressors, coastal condition and human health to maximize health benefits from the oceans, improve the safety of seafood and drinking waters, reduce beach closures, and detect emerging health threats. This funding opportunity is intended to engage the non-federal research community in research across the physical, chemical, biological, medical, public health and social sciences on priority issues for the OHHI.
- 1/8/08: NSF Dynamics of Coupled Natural
and Human Systems (CNH)
The Dynamics of Coupled Natural and Human Systems competition promotes quantitative, interdisciplinary analyses of relevant human and natural system processes and complex interactions among human and natural systems at diverse scales.
- 1/15/08: NSF Sociology
The Sociology Program supports basic research on all forms of human social organization--societies, institutions, groups and demography--and processes of individual and institutional change.
- 1/15/08: NSF Geography and Regional Science
The Geography and Regional Science (GRS) Program sponsors research on the geographic distributions and interactions of human, physical, and biotic systems on the Earth's surface. Investigations are encouraged into the nature, causes, and consequences of human activity and natural environmental processes across a range of scales.
- 1/16/08: NSF Geomorphology and Land Use Dynamics
Geomorphology and Land-Use Dynamics supports innovative research into processes that shape and modify landscapes over a variety of length and time scales. The program encourages research that investigates quantitatively the coupling and feedback between such processes, their rates, and their relative roles, especially in the contexts of variation in climatic and tectonic forcings and in light of changes due to human impact.
- 1/18/08: NSF Decision, Risk, and Management Sciences
The Decision, Risk and Management Sciences program supports scientific research directed at increasing the understanding and effectiveness of decision making by individuals, groups, organizations, and society. Disciplinary and interdisciplinary research, doctoral dissertation research, and workshops are funded in the areas of judgment and decision making; decision analysis and decision aids; risk analysis, perception, and communication; societal and public policy decision making; management science and organizational design.
- 2/1/08: NSF Science and Society
Science and Society considers proposals that examine questions that arise in the interactions of engineering, science, technology, and society. There are four components: Ethics and Values in Science, Engineering and Technology (EVS); History and Philosophy of Science, Engineering and Technology (HPS); Social Studies of Science, Engineering and Technology (SSS); and Studies of Policy, Science, Engineering and Technology (SPS).
